In an eerie temple, a group of robed acolytes huddle around an exotic, red pargo fish displayed on an ancient altar lit only by the flickering flame of torches. The color around is a contrasct of the vivid scarlet fish and the muted greys and blacks of the temple stone and the acolytes’ robes. High ceiling seems to be lost in shadows, creating a sense of depth and overwhelming vastness, an almost claustrophobic feel to the image. The camera is positioned at a low angle, giving the acolytes a powerful and intimidating presence, with the focus primarily on their faces and the fish. The scene is balanced with the huge stone columns framing the acolytes on either side, seemingly guarding them from intruders. The camera slowly moves in, closing the open space before finally resting on the fish, its scales sparkling under the dim fire light. The only sound is the acolytes’ chants, growing louder and more intense as the shot continues.
